It is May 2014, and Dr. Klara Lieberman—forty-nine, single, professor of archaeology at a small liberal arts college in Maine, a contained person living a contained life—has just received a letter from her estranged mother, Bessie, that will dramatically change her life. Her father, she learns—the man who has been absent from her life for the last forty-three years, and about whom she has long been desperate for information—is dead. Has been for many years, in fact, which Bessie clearly knew.

Audio Review - emotion, emphasis & intention
Revisado: 08-13-24
Synopsis: Klara’s estranged mother kept a secret about her deceased father only when she informed Klara of the reparations being paid to Jewish families for property stolen by the Nazi. Klara was not interested in the money, but more interested in learning about her deceased father and family. Through her adventure in Poland, she learned what happened to her father, she connected with her lost family members, she acquired self-discovery, and she gained relationships.
Thoughts: I appreciate how this story communicates therapy (normalize therapy) and there’s a focus on forgiveness and family. I also enjoyed the facts on history; it’s clear the author of this book took her time to write this story and review the facts on Poland.
Audiobook Review: One of my favorite genres to read is historical fiction, especially relating to the Holocaust/WWII era. I listened to this book via audible and I am so glad I listened to it verses read it. The narrator of this story did a fantastic job of recording the book with such emotion, emphasis, and intention. There was so much care in her voice, I could “feel” the story; I had tears, smiles, and anger throughout this story. I appreciate the accent change and tone in her voice to decipher between characters. It made listening to this story easy to understand and feel like real life.
